We are seeking an outstanding candidate for a lectureship in Statistical Learning, interpreted broadly, as part of an expansion in Artificial Intelligence and Data Science research and education in the School of Mathematical Sciences. This position arises thanks to significant new investment by the University to support ambitions to further develop strengths in this important area.
You will have a track record of excellent research in Statistics or an aligned discipline with an emphasis on statistical learning, ideally with interests that span across to other areas of Mathematical Sciences (principally mathematical modelling or operational research) and enhance or complement our existing strengths in statistical modelling and computation, uncertainty quantification, design of experiments, biostatistics, or financial and actuarial mathematics.
Strong applicants should demonstrate:
* A PhD or equivalent professional qualifications and experience in a relevant discipline
* Ability to obtain peer‑reviewed funding
* Evidence of distinction in research through high‑quality publications
* Ability for undergraduate and postgraduate teaching
For an informal discussion regarding this position, please contact the Head of Statistics, Dave Woods (D.Woods@soton.ac.uk) or the Head of School, Jacek Brodzki (j.brodzki@soton.ac.uk).
